Jack Morris
Morris has always been on the 1999 ballot. The former starting pitcher receives each year slightly more votes, but still not enough. In his tenth year he received more than 52% of the writers a voice, and last year it rose only 1%. It seemed to him, in view of pitchers in the coming years will be on the ballot (Clemens, Maddux, Glavine, Mussina, Johnson, etc.), hard to the Hall of Fame ever get. He had a brilliant career, but does not appear in the row of Nolan Ryan, Cy Young, Christy Mathewson and Carlton Fisk (to name but a few to name) to apply. His career win-loss record is 254-186 and he finished with an ERA of 3.90 and nearly 2,500 K's. He was All-Star five times, won four World Series and World Series MVP in 1991 for the Minnesota Twins. Excellent condition, but they seem just to be inadequate for a spot in Cooperstown. The only thing for Morris speaks at this time last year that Bert Blyleven, with somewhat similar stats are in the Hall of Fame voted. If he has a chance, in view of the aforementioned pitchers in the coming year on the ballot will appear, this year. There are among the newcomers as yet no great pitchers. Funny you know about Jack Morris is that he has record in Opening Day Starts, he started 14 times the season opener for his team.

Yeah, well, what about Dutch to Japanese, Japanese to Haitian Creole, Haitian Creole to Yiddish, and Yiddish to English??

Morris was the 1999 vote. Former starting pitcher would get Votes in a few years each, more is not enough. He received 10 - year 52% of the voice of the artist, up only 1 percent in the past year. He was, in view of the hall of Fame pitcher for years to come some very difficult, (Clement, maddux, Glavine, mussina, Johnson, etc.) will never get a vote. He has a distinguished career, Nolen Rijn to apply for, whether young, Christie mathevson, and Carton Fisk (the name, to name a few) will not appear on the line. His career win - loss record is 186-254, so he finished the 2500 K and 3.90 era. he is in Minnesota Twin All - Star five times I want the world Series of death and four World Series in 1991. terms, but is to be enough for a place in kooperstovn right. the only thing that Bert blileven was a statistically Morris a bit like , said last year in the time to vote for hall of fame. if he has a chance, look in the Pitchers susmansyone on the ballot for next year, will appear this year. There is also a new pitcher in the big love again. Jack Morris is funny you know, he has a record of levels - start the day, he Started 14 times in the opening match of a team with him

If you think Jeff Bagwell, you think immediately of the Houston Astros batting stance and are separate. He was with teammate Craig Biggio in the nineties and the beginning of this century the face of the Houston Astros. Bagwell is renowned for his strength, but also for his baserunning. He hit 449 homers in his career, 2314 hits and had an average of .297. Normally not directly enough for the Hall of Fame. But Jeff Bagwell was in his time the best first baseman in Major League and that weighs heavily on many writers. Bagwell in 1991 Rookie of the Year and was the National League MVP three years later. 1994 was his best season: the season that was shortened because of the strike by the players, he hit .368 with 39 homeruns in only 400 at bats. In the years (1991-2005) in which Bagwell played in the Major League, he was second in RBIs, third in runs, hits and walks and fifth in home runs. He is one of only six players ever with over 400 home runs and 200 stolen bases. Bagwell seems a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame and received last year in his first year on the ballot, already 41.7% of the writers a voice.
